A Normal Day

Today is a day that cancer just did not seem present. Certainly there is the fact that Ray is at home. But besides that, it was a normal day. Even by our old standards.

We pray continually for Ray's healing. We pray continually for the "impossible." We pray with diligence. We pray with hope. We pray with confidence.

We are so grateful that our voices are not alone, but a chorus.

"Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave. May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers; may he never leave us nor forsake us. May he turn our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways and to keep the commands he gave our fathers. And may these words of mine, which I have prayed before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may uphold the cause of his servant and the cause of his people according to each day's need, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God and that there is no other."1 Kings 8:56-60
